About this sunscreen
Marc Jacobs Beauty Shameless Youthful-Look 24-Hour Foundation is an SPF 25 foundation with an older-generation chemical filter blend of octocrylene, avobenzone, and octisalate. It finishes matte with low white cast and a lightweight feel, is low on the pore-clogging scale, and works well as a makeup base since it is a foundation, though it can sting near the eyes. SPF 25 makeup is generally best as a top-up rather than a sole sunscreen, which fits its moderate protection rating. It scores 67.8/100.
